British Landscapes featuring England, Scotland and Wales

Well organized. Great tour manager. Saw much of Scotland, England and Wales.

That was the best tour that I’ve had in my life. It’s very memorable and I would recommend anybody to do it.

I enjoyed every moment of my trip and I owe that to the tour manager (Shaune) & coach driver (Steve). I had a great time and would refer anyone to enjoy this experience.

Our tour guide was fun, helpful and very knowledgeable. The hotels were first class. The scenery was beautiful. We could have used another day in London as there was so much to see.

The tour was excellent. All of our stops were interesting and the tour guides were great. The bus driver did a great job of moving that big bus through some tight areas. My favorite tour was Oxford University. We had a very good tour guide and it was very interesting to me

The tour was great. Tour manager Shaune and the coach driver Chris took good care of everyone and they are the best team, work well together. My favorite is touring the "Halen Mon" sea salt place in Wales. Took the train from Endibourg to York, and see the countryside of Scotland to England. Food is excellent and miss the English breakfast 😋

Best experience was the castle in Conway

All of it!! ❤️d it.

The Tatoo experience Having free time on many days of the tour.

Loved the Tattoo. Enjoyed seeing all the countryside and the Tour Manager narration. Various transportation arrangements excellent. Not a level 2. Extreme activity level for me, not adequately explained beforehand. Unexpected early mornings every day activity challenging. Two day stays much better than one day/night stays. Medical help was not clear, as I got bronchitis 5 days into the tour, and had to endure. Price was excellent value.

Memorable: Military tattoo presentation. Excellent! Unbelievable Hotels good - staff checking in was the problem. One hotel terrible checking in- 4 problems. One of the things is FORGOT us in old room. Told they would get us n never did. Same hotel , we are told bring your own face cloths. Brought mine n this same hotel took mine the next day. Didn't replace it until told to. Another hotel took forever for you to get checked in n get room key. In the mean time asked for glass of water n was told room has water. Told them if had room then could get water. Hotels good, it was staff aittude n procedures that have to be adjusted. TOUR GREATEST ---- Would do it.

The York experience could use a little work. Shops close early and travelers were not aware of that. The holiday inn was not up to par with the others accommodations. Oxford was wonderful. Edinburgh was fabulous so glad we got in a day early. So much to see in a limited amount of time so I understand the tight scheduling. The London tour guide was very good. All the tour guides we had were good. Avon on Stratton was way more touristy than I had expected. Chester was good. I would recommend this tour with the advice that it’s a tight schedule so pick and choose carefully what you want to see.

The tour, Tour guide accommodations, and food were outstanding. I loved Scotland and all history shared with us on the tour. Our bus driver did a fantastic job maneuvering on such narrow streets. I would highly recommend this tour. With much appreciation, Sharon McWilliams

Although I would prefer to travel with a smaller group outr group seemed to work. Sue was very good about keeping us together and everyone cooperative and were on time and pleasant.

I wished more meals would have been included for same price.

Everything was great with the exception of two scheduled dinners one that was not edible and another where the food just tasted bad. There was no one at the airport to pick us up when we first landed in Scotland. We also paid for pick up to and from the airport to our house; the driver left before we could get our luggage and had to call someone to come and pick us up when we arrived back home.

Lost 2 days due to poor travel layout. Windy City Coaches it appears from Chicago picked us up in Quincy took us to St Louis to catch a plane to Chicago. The flight was delayed due to weather. We were told planes are not allowed to land The plane from the east coast was allowed to land and leave while we were on the ground in St Louis. None of this would have happened if we had travelled directly from Quincy to Chicago. Overnight in an airport. Big Problem

I enjoyed the tour, the stops were good. I loved London and Stratford on Avon. Shaune our tour manager was great and made sure everything was going well. The dinners and hotels could be improved on, our first dinner was terrible, however you did give us a refund. The hotel in London was shabby however the staff were good. Last I would enjoy more two night stays

We found ourselves in London on the 80th celebration of VE Day. At Buckingham Palace, we saw a fantastic parade which topped off a memorable tour. Oxford was also great. Our local tour guide, Jonathan Self, was the best local guide I have ever experienced. This is my seventh tour with Collette so I have had many local tour guides.

Edinburgh was fantastic, as was Stratford-upon-Avon. Chester was not worth the stop. Would have done better to spend more time in York or better yet Stratford-upon-Avon.

The sights of England are absolutely beautiful. The overall experience was good.

Enjoyed the entire tour, but needed more time in some areas.

Enjoyed the trip and it was a perfect mix of planned activities and free time.

The British Landscapes tour was jam-packed with history, information, and sight-seeing. The included meals were all delicious and had plenty of options such as gluten-free, vegetarian, etc. Every hotel was centrally located in the city so it was easy to walk to local shops, restaurants, museums, etc. Our guide Carly was amazing! She had so much knowledge, and if there was a question she didn't automatically know the answer to, she made sure to get back to you with as much detail as possible. She kept the trip on schedule, yet fun and entertaining. There was a lot to do, but none of it was mandatory so if you found something else you were interested in or wanted to take a day to relax, there was no pressure to do otherwise. This is the best way to visit a different country in my opinion!

The tour was fantastic with great events and plenty of time to indulge in exploring my interest. Accommodations and the food were enjoyable. The guide in England, Scotland was personable and dependable. He added a lot of fun and information to the trip. The driver was also a plus. There were a few concerns. Tubs and showers were slick and dangerous. If you asked for a mat, you were told that the hotel had none available. Transportation was provided to several events but not provided for the return to the hotel at night. Walking felt unsafe especially when the group stretched out due to the differences in the speed of walking. At times I could not see the leader or any of the group ahead of us to know which way to go. Eventually Dan and slower people caught up, and I felt safe again. The transportation to the airport in Paris was over an hour late. I carried a CPAP which took extra time and I had to repack to leave security. When I turned to go, I did not see any of my group. I knew the gate and found it with help from kind travelers. Dan was waiting at the gate. The plane was held 15 minutes. I made it on, but the event was stressful. Two of our group did not make the plane. I was seated between 2 men, one of which was huge. He asked for help and offered to pay for an up grade but the stewardess refused telling him no empty seat doubles were available and that he should have paid ahead of time to upgrade. It appeared he was being taught a lesson. I was punished too. The 9 hour flight was very uncomfortable . He was nice and let me out several times, but I could not move. At my age with contracting muscles, I have to move to avoid stiffness and pain. Several of the hotels were hot even at night when the air was cool. At times opening the window helped, but some were difficult to open enough to cool the room. Despite this I loved the trip and will travel with your company again. You can’t control some of the concerns. I just wanted you to know.

Liked all experiences. Would like to stay longer in Scotland. Only suggestion is not have one night stays, more difficult getting to relax in one night stay. Loved the trip!

Enjoyed all aspects of our 9 day excursion from Edinburgh to London. Especially enjoyed York and Chester

Too many to count. I believe you could have spent more days in London. Jonny was a great tour Manager would love to have him again!!!
